I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy a spyware killer for years. I have recently added superantispyware. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. I have just upgraded to AVG free 8.0 and all seems good so far. Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from download.com/ I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/ V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/ V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

A limited user account is better than antivirus software: pcmag.com/ article2/ 0,2817,1683498,00.asp

Avast is good. There are steps you can take to eliminate virus damage, like not using admin user account, etc. If you used Linux, viruses would not be as big of a problem.

There are two really good ones that are free. One is Avast, and the other one is Avira. avast.com/ eng/ download-avast-home.html free-av.com/ You can't go wrong with either one.
